Alternative dwellings are great when it's your choice to choose to live that way, but do you ever wonder why less of us are able to buy a traditional home? The answer simply is currency debasement.

@@raymisuto9872"ultimately it is not a permanently sustainable thing" and you think a home & family is? How old are you? I've had all that and It's overrated.

You find yourself in the same place you were before all that. Go watch the video of Gene the 82 year old nomad. Wished he had done it decades before.

@raymisuto98722 жыл бұрын
@@Beach_Guy Your whole argument falls apart when you've removed the anti-social sociopathic tendency from it.. You get married, you don't play house. There is no divorce, marriage is a lifelong contract and people who break it should be punished to the extreme, that's why the policy of fault divorce exist, so that if somebody violates the contract they are completely destroyed and spend the rest of their lives giving their money to the person they screwed over. Kids don't grow up and go their own way, they become their own people but they remain loyal to the family, they're the ones responsible for taking care of their parents just as you were responsible for taking care of yours when they retired, to step outside of this social generational contract is once again a sociopathic tendency and the people who break from it should really be put down, they're not only a burden to the rest of civilization but also a failure to provide for the people they're responsible for. And unfortunate truth of reality, as we're not psychic energy who can exist outside of any actions for survival we're born with responsibilities that we cannot fail to uphold. Death is the one thing you got right, sometimes it happens prematurely by accident or disease and there's just nothing for it, that's why in the end we actually build a social system so that the 0. 00001% whose family died through accident and disease and are now dependent on the society at large to keep them up can be taken care of. Trust me, you could ask all 7 billion people on Earth if they would donate .01 to one of these individuals and you'll get nothing but yes and that 70 million dollars will allow the person to live comfortably. And finally, the hell do you mean a slave to the mortgage, your previous generations of your family should have taken care of securing familyland and your family should have maintained it since then, unless they've just all been fuck ups.. Don't feel bad, my US family has all been fuck ups and I'm the one having to start the generational train going, but just because it wasn't handed to you on a silver platter doesn't mean you get to shrink the responsibility and be a fuck up just like your ancestors. If you end up being a slave working your whole life it's so that you're descendants won't be, man up.

This is my favorite van I've seen and the first one that felt like something I could live in thanks to the awesome shelves he has beneath the folding bed. The fact that he made this on the road makes it that much more awesome. It wasn't all or nothing. Most van builds focus on bulky cabinetry and really don't have much room for anything beyond essentials... While I get a big part of living in a van is that you aren't weighed down by material things... I still prefer to have a couple of bookshelves of physical books and a box or two of miniatures for miniature based board / tabletop games. I would definitely steal much of this guy's layout. I would prefer a slightly longer van for a wet-bath in the back (then again lots of people seem to prefer showering outside) and replace the couch with a desk for painting and working on the computer. I'm tempted to take him up on his offer and try to chat on Instagram.

So so inspired by you Sam! Thank you for sharing all of the details and the journey you’ve been on in setting yourself up. I’m 63, solo, and on the path having just bought a van. Feeling daunted, but uplifted by this video. 🙏🏼👍🏼😉

🔥 🔥 Traditional home owners better watch out. As Van Life becomes more practical (due to technology) and more companies are hiring remote workers, those expensive pieces of real estate may become ghost towns.

Thanks for sharing, great job. My husband and I, 67 and 66, are converting an ambulance to a camper and can hardly wait to get on the road and live intentionally!

I love your whole outlook on life. I have thought that it would be great to live in a van and go whenever and wherever I wanted. But, life got in the way, and 50 years later, I really envy you, more than you know!!! Enjoy and continue to gently use our Earth . William
